General

I was getting kind of mad of getting hit with like 14k damage every time near stage 10, but I got to stage 20 today. Try to keep your distance and jump a lot.

Kanna and hayto will mess you up as hayto hits like 14k same with kanna i think and shes got iframes (ALOT)
If you by hit by the last boss it will do 21k damage to you i think as i got hit by it 3 times in a row and almost died all 3 times

Its a good thing i had HB on and not rage lol

I have no problems with any of the bosses except mahile dat wepon cancel skill o.o , I consider mori easier because i can 2 hit ko him

This works sometimes for me also not all the times.

Sometimes he does 19k dmg to me n I barely survive (have to use that 7khp pot and decent HB which gives me like 22khp)

This is pretty hard for NLs

Hayato and Kanna are also pretty annoying doing like 10-14k dmg </3

[quote=igeneous]Don't you have meso guard? If not, start another job preferably a warrior class since all of them have naturally high hp AND can dish out damage just as well.
I was living the good life until I hit 120 and realized boss monsters scale just as fast as our levels. If it weren't for my perma auto hp on my NL I would probably stop playing him entirely since I occasionally lag and can't pot to recover the damage taken from monsters my level[/quote]

The reason this is in the Night Lord forums and not the Shadower forums is because I'm talking about my night lord, not my shadower.

Yeah, QT can pin Ranmaru as well.

I will just quote my post on another thread.

"Here are a few things that can help to increase your survivability:
- HP equips like Rex earrings
- Kaiser and Cannoneer's link skills
- Potions that increase your max HP. It may take some time to make the potions or find them in FM because they are kind of rare.
- Find a Drk, Bishop or Phantom to cast HB or Adv. Blessing on you before going in. HB is much better."

cube everything for %health and pretend to be a DA and POW POW POW! xD

For some reason, he freezes when I start attacking. Glitch probably. However, beware, he casts seduce.

Ask a DrK friend to give you HB before you go in (I'm not sure how long you take, so this might not help), or ask someone to borrow a pair of HB pants.

I've been by all his moves.

I'm still alive till this day.

I never get hit by Mori

I don't survive.. it's usually 50/50 when the hayato does 9k or 14k damage

Wow I don't know how you guys manage to survive, I'm lucky my phantom can steal all these defensive skills. I got hit 21k by Ranmaru and only survived because of magic guard

How much are the +5k hp pots?

If you can kill it fast enough, the skill won't be cast; maybe try boosting your damage if you're close to killing him before he uses the skill (angelic buster link skill might suffice)
And make sure you don't receive his touch damage since that does 10k+

Just get 5k HP Boost Potions then. I haven't been hit by Ranmaru at all, but I can see your concerns. We don't have any defense increasing skills unless you count those 500 Defense/Magic Defense from the Hyper Skills, and even that won't really help much. Try to get more % HP gear if you can, but other than that, we have to rely on our natural Avoid, and Shadow Shifter activating.

Keep your distance, do a hit and run technique C:
